Hi, I'm Joshua. I'm an #ActuallyAutistic adult (yes, we exist!). I'm a shy, socially anxious introvert. I enjoy video games and advocating for autism acceptance, ending stigma, sex worker rights, free speech, human rights, and the prevention of child sexual abuse.

It’s an odd psychology that makes people resist giving $1000/mo to hard-working citizens to buy what they need, yet be OK with billions/yr given as subsidies to industries already making huge profits destroying the planet so that a tiny group of people can buy whatever they want.

Folk devil: in the study of moral panics, a folk devil is an exaggerated evil group or entity around which public fear and outrage is stoked. Pedophiles and child sex traffickers are the folk devils of our society's moral panic around child sexual abuse. #ProstasiaDefines

Congress asked the IRS to report on why it audits the poor more than the affluent. Its response is that it doesn’t have enough money and people to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to.

Obama shitting on socialism shouldn’t surprise anyone. He once bragged that he’d be considered a Republican in the 1980s. Just because he was a good story teller doesn’t mean that he wasn’t a corporatist who sold hope to the people while he was handing more power to Wall Street.

You’re not “saving democracy” by blindly supporting a party that has rigged its own primaries, kicked the Green Party off ballots, & taken more money from Wall Street in 2020 than the corrupt Republican Party. You’re doing the machine’s bidding and enabling the corporate duopoly.

Price of HIV prevention drug Truvada:

United States: $2,000
Australia: $8

Americans pay 250x more than Australians. Meanwhile, U.S. taxpayers spent $50,000,000 developing the drug. https://www.citizen.org/article/heres-how-broken-the-u-s-healthcare-system-is/

“I beat the socialist.”

“I won’t ban fracking.”

“I’d veto Medicare for All.”

“I don’t support a Green New Deal.”

“Nothing will fundamentally change.”

@JoeBiden@twitter.com has spent the election attacking the left and we’re just supposed to take it? I don’t think so!

WE DESERVE BETTER.

Bernie would’ve won the presidency twice if the DNC hadn’t rigged the primaries against him & America would look a lot different right now. So let’s not make the same mistake again in 2024 and expect the DNC to give us a fair shake. We need to build our own party. @4aPeoplesParty@twitter.com

Can we take a step back and look at the research that has been done and not base Acts on Fear.

Those who on the Registry are not the individuals to be monitored. This is just going to add MORE PUNISHMENT to those who are trying to live out their Second Chance. #DoBetter https://twitter.com/prostasiainc/status/1320005378147495936

This is not only troubling, but I would think illegal. #Illinois Cook county DA's have been judge-shopping whenever it comes to sex offense cases... and have been doing it since 2013.

"An analysis by The Oregonian found that homeless people who have even temporary housing are less likely to be booked into jail in [Portland] than people living on the street."

Hey @Twitter@twitter.com. DSM-5 called pedophilia a sexual orientation until people got uncomfortable and they changed it. How about you don’t do that? Read the research before you blanket block statements or discussions.
